Any idea of gear used?

Nice air-to-air shot.

Over what city would this be?

into these things.

Auckland, New Zealand.



LOL...on first glance I thought that was the Seattle Space Needle in the
background

That sarcasm is odd, coming from you. Isn't one of your main claims to
competence your better-than-average knowledge and understanding of
photographic equipment?

At first I sort of agreed, but I changed my mind. The busy background does
clash with the aeroplanes, but the very fact that they seem out of place over
the city is a lot of what makes the picture work. A nondescript background
would probably produce a less interesting picture.

Just can't resist, can you? Yeah, I suppose most of us are older than you. But
maybe that gives you time to get your mind right before you reach our advanced
age.
